371-208 $159.00 R5010 Heavy Duty 1/2" VSR Hammer/Pulse Drill
That's a pricey hammer drill! I've had my Milwaukee hammer drill for 7 years and it is as good as new. It cost me about $125 and is still priced that way. If I could put a chisel bit in it it would probably be a somewhat decent jackhammer. I'm sure the ridgid is a good hammer drill, but why so pricey?

Also,What is the difference between a cordless X2 and the non X2? (besides price)

That's a pricey hammer drill! ...but why so pricey?Check out the owner's manual on the Ridgid web site. It has a lot of nice features.

Also, here is the link to the Metabo version.

I really like the look and the freel of the tools and will plan on acquiring at least one before year's end.
As far as the tools are concerned, I think that I'll discover any potential defects within 36 months, so buying after the first of the year doesn't bother me. But having a tool with a perpetual battery sounds intriquing. That narrows the options to:
369-977 $479.00 R922 18v 4pc Cordless Combo Kit
369-893 $379.00 R921 18v 3pc Cordless Combo Kit

(No SKU or Price) R841151 18v X2 Cordless Hammer Drill
369-501 $249.00 R84015 18v X2 Cordless 1/2" Drill
369-039 $199.00 R83015 14.4v X2 Cordless 1/2" Drill
369-010 $159.00 R82015 12v X2 Cordless 1/2" Drill

369-002 $199.00 R84001 18v Cordless 3/8" Drill
368-753 $169.00 R83001 14.4v Cordless 3/8" Drill
368-680 $129.00 R82001 12v Cordless 3/8" Drill

I don't think I'm ready for a combo set yet, leaving the drills. I have a DeWalt 14.4v 3/8" with a spare battery, so your opinion please:
</font> Should I just stay with the corded tool?</font>
</font> Should I be looking at an X2 1/2" drill, or another 3/8" unit?</font>
</font> Should I go with a 12v to keep it light, another 14.4v for better torque, or an 18v for Tim-Taylor muscle?</font>
</font> Should I buy all three on separate receipts, use them for 90 days to decide which one I like and take the other two back?</font>
</font> Or should I go 18v in case I want to acquire a combo set and have battery interchangability? If so, how would I ever remember which battery had the lifetime service warranty?</font> Any thoughts to share?

Went out Saturday and picked up a 14.4v cordless replacement to the aforementioned thousand year old Craftsman 1/2" drill. Pretty impressive machine, I think.

Should I be looking at an X2 1/2" drill, or another 3/8" unit?

My decision tree was that, if I needed to use a drill with over 3/8" shank (like a hole saw), I was stuck with the oldie. I have both a corded and a cordless 3/8", could not see the reason to have yet another.


Should I go with a 12v to keep it light, another 14.4v for better torque, or an 18v for Tim-Taylor muscle?

I was surprised that the 14.4v and the 18v, in this model, didn't have enough weight difference for me to notice. Most of the weight is in the tool. What kept me with the 14.4v is the fifty buck difference in price.

Leave it to Ridgid, the carrying case has a soft-grip handle. That's a nice attention to detail there.

YEA!!! Real men need cushioned grip handles on their carry cases. LOL. Never thought I'd see comfort level in cases for tools.

Mike, y'all "real men" are welcome to wrap the damn thing in barbed wire...

If it were me, I'd take the plastic money to the big box, buy one of each. Take em home, tyr em all out, keep the one that best suits the need.

With HD, you have a 30 day no ? asked return policy. I've done that before with certain things, it's worth a try.

Worst case senario? You end up with all the cordless drills you'll ever need! And your hands will be soft as a baby's behind with the soft grip handles on the cases. ;)

[Dave Arbuckle]

John, that would mean I'd have to go to the Borg -twice-! :shudder: ;)

I just picked out the one I wanted, and got it. Different strokes, hunh?

Dave

[UO_Woody]

Dave,

Not sure what it's like in your area, but....

Alot of the associates in my area are well worth the trip...2, 3, 4 trips.

What they call it? Eye Candy?

Thing is too, they are not all stuck up, but darn ready and happy to stop what they doing for a good conversation!

sure glad the LOML doesn't like to go with! It sure adds a bright flame to a dying bed of of hot coals! Know what I mean???

[Dave Arbuckle]

Woody, I'm a confirmed girl watcher, and I do believe I can safely say that, that isn't the case around here! ;)

Dave
(we still allowed to say "girl watcher"?)

[Bo_hamrick]

Eric I have to agree with you and the only reason they were able to produce the torque was by slowing the drill down to a snails pace. not only will my DeWalt rip my skin off as well but it will do it faster then the ryobi...I mean ridgid tool.
